| X1263 Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}9/GR.{George Ratcliffe}4.11.36. Re: PETROL PUMP on P.III. Replying to Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}2/E3.11.36., E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} has suggested an alternative position for petrol pumps under the front tray, where they are much more accessible than beneath the floor-boards. If it is decided that this is a better position, the work we are now doing on 35-EX will still be useful, because the pump so developed should work in either position. We suggest that we discuss the matter further on Tuesday. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
